The Daredevil 1,097 Posted April 13, 2023 Correct answer is 2004, aged 86, the only one between 2003 and 2007 that wasn’t guessed. Am I asking another question since no one got it right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was no relation of the Nation's founder Elijah Muhammad. Despite claiming to be 10 years older, she was born in 1907, and died in 2011 at the age of 103, a year after her DL debut (and only appearance). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing about Ruby Mohammad, whom I'd only heard of thanks to this forum, and even as she was picked, there was a degree of barrel scrapping. When she died, I mentioned it to Mrs msc, with the phrase "She claimed to be 111 years old, but was only 103." That only was hysterically funny, apparently! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
